Two teens wanted in attempted Armed Robbery

Tampa, FL-- Hillsborough deputies search for two 14-15 year-old Hispanic males wanted in connection with an attempted Armed Robbery of the Tienda Mexicana Hidalgo last week.

According to reports, it was just before 8 p.m. on Tuesday November 20 when the adolescents entered the store. One of the suspects pointed a handgun at the clerk and demanded money as the other acted as a look out.

The clerk struggled with the suspect with the gun and retrieved a knife from under the counter. Reports say that's when both suspects fled the business on foot, northeast on Highway 41.

They were not successful in robbing the store, but officials still ask for the public's assistance in locating them.
